Text4Diet™

Text4Diet is a mobile phone-based intervention tool, which addresses dietary, physical activity and sedentary behaviors for promoting and sustaining weight loss. A 2007 NIH-funded randomized controlled trial (RCT) of its original prototype, which solely addressed eating behaviors, found an average weight loss of more than 6 pounds during a 4-month use period, a statistically significant difference from weight loss in the usual care comparison control group. Text4Diet is an expanded and improved text messaging weight loss application that further builds upon that foundation.

Text4Diet features:

• Proprietary online diet and activity assessment, used to tailor intervention
• Users can tailor personal preferences (e.g. number of desired messages per day, timing of messages, etc.)
• Pool of more than 3500 SMS (text) messages and 2000 logic rules
• One-of-a kind interactive capabilities, with follow-up messaging sent based upon variable user responses
• Works with any text messaging-enabled phone
• Secured (HIPAA compliant) messaging available
